<p>i’d say consider large wealthy universities, maybe USC? they also have scholarships that you’re automatically considered for if you write a killer essay. My friend also got very generous financial aid from there and even his family’s income was higher than yours. </p>
<p>also, don’t automatically cross out wealthy ivies (all of them) off your list. You can still apply ED and if the financial aid doesn’t work out (you don’t get a full ride) you can get out of it quite easily in your situation.</p>
